The Shivalaya Yagyaswar Mahadev Mandir

The Shivalaya Yagyaswar Mahadev Mandir was constructed in the heart of Gelephu upon Royal Command. It is a replica of the Shivalaya temple in Samtse. The temple was constructed for the Hindu community of the Gelephu as a place of worship. Since the Mandir is conveniently located, the residents of Gelephug Thromde and villagers from places can congregate for religious gatherings. Also, people will no longer have to travel to Bihar in India to offer water to deities which is considered as an integral part of Hindu rituals.
